it makes sense, I'll try to do it

hmmm, I'll try to make a GtkSizeGroup for the "more/less options",
"apply" and "close" buttons, and another for the rest of the buttons...
let's see if it works :-)

yes, here I agree with you, I did put that stock icon because I didn't
find anything related to this functionality :-(. I personally like the
map icon that is in the time zone dialog, and I tried to reduce it, but
it seems a bit blur when reduced to that size...

I'll try to search if there is any related icon, but if I don't
success... is there any gnome artist here to volunteer? :-)))
